Ford may have dropped the price of the vehicle but we can be reasonably sure that the dealer network will still mark them up 10-20k or more over MSRP even with the savings. It’s a win win for the dealer, not so much a win for the consumer.

I bought 2 Mach Es at MSRP. Before placing order online just call dealer and ask them about price. Recently, Ford has implemented a new way to show dealer markup upfront while placing order. You can pick and choose dealer who is accepting order at MSRP.

There are laws against Ford selling Fords directly unfortunately.

Even the Justice Department dislikes these laws but they are still on the books in almost every state.

Tesla has gotten exceptions made especially for them.

Ford needs to work on lobbying, citizens need to get awareness levels above their seat cushions, and state legislatures need to repeal the laws that require car dealers.

Ford lets you order through their website, at MSRP. Don’t really think dealers can do much about it.

No clue on the lead time, though.

Just cut the dealer out already and have ford locations sporadically throughout the state you live in. Every vehicle I have purchased I got zero benefit from a salesmen beside grief and the “games” you play with them

I’m so annoyed with greasy car salesmen I just ordered a Tesla. I didn’t even want a Tesla!

Nice. More car companies making electric cars benefit the consumer. Looking forward to what VW brings to the market.

Just looked into those models. Very cool. I wouldn't mind traveling cross country in those campers.

They brought the ID3 and ID4 (maybe not in the states?). A better car on same platform is the Skoda Enyaq

The ID3 is a great car but commits too many unforgivable design sins for me to take it seriously (underpowered entertainment console, touch controls everywhere, charger on the rear side panel).

I havent seriously looked at the ID3, but the ID4 didnt even make the short list. When I asked myself “why this car” nothing comes up. The competition is just about on par or better in my view.

Every ID4 owner I’ve asked in the US is quite positive about it - I just don’t want to drive a god damned SUV (even a smallish one).

Where’s the eGolf R?

I am sure they are fine, but tbh I think they get more slack since its VW. Had it been a Chinese company.

Also the launch models had massive flaws with the software to the point where they not reliable

How is it compared to e.g. a Cubra born or maybe even the model 3 now with the price drop

Cool… now make a car that isn’t some butt ass ugly suv or crossover.

Finally, some hope of car price war

On a day when Exxon Mobil announced $54 BILLION in PROFIT, why aren't people more motivated to change over to electric?
